Dear Subscriber,
I love great Sauvignon Blanc almost any time of the year, but given the wine’s freshness, it seems especially enticing in Spring. And especially enticing now, when the quality of Sauvignon Blanc (around the entire world) is so high. My Blog this week is on my picks for the top dozen California “Super Sauvignons,” wines that have the stature of the best white Bordeaux. Elsewhere in this issue, you’ll find a juicy Cabernet that’s a steal (it’s our Wine to Know), plus my Wine Clip Video interview with Nicole Marchesi, winemaker of Napa Valley’s Far Niente winery. If you love bread (my hand is up) you’ll want to take the Food Quiz, and the Fascinating Fact is all about an emoji we didn’t know we needed (but do).
—Cheers, Karen
